that there were enough for q quo

also, like the other, was wired away.
Tue Chamber offered rooms that af-
f0Fded every facility and convenience
enjoyed by the land Offices in Portland,
and the communication wss 90 vorded
that only a determinatien TO let Tacoma

That also IL certain.
w. ]. Fife, in conversation relative to
the position Samuel Wilkesop, JF., took
in the interview With him published
yesterday, said "Wilkeson has always
been of the opinion that there would be
q steady RFOWth. Nov / have been dy-
ing by inches for the past twelve years
here nnder this steady growth process.
Steady growth in q new town means
three generations before il comes to
anything worth putting on q map; il is
NOS for this aRe; this is a time OF cleo
trio meters and all that sort of thing,
and If We ever expect 70 do anything
We must make a spurt-in short,
I'VE MUST BOOM"
Il 10 proper to say Just here that ths
report Of the interview With Mr.. Fife
published few days ago vas liable TO
an Interpretation that may do injustice.
Mr.. Fife vas quoted as saying: They

why don't they bHild? Nav w. j.
Fife is q son Of W. h. Fife and they are
associated together in business and the
language used 10 easy to interpret as re-

erection Of a building on his property

I've" was used by W. J Fife as meaning
the people, generally. of Tasoma.
That the people of Tacoma are pleased
at the agitation Of this question of the
sincerity Of the Northern Pacific Rail
road in their protestations toward this
city might be shown in q continuation
Of interviews from dsy to day such as
have been printed. Oommendation is
heard on the street everywhere. "It Is
the first time this sort Of thing has been
given any publicity" say one after the
other as they are met in the walks and
talks OF the Posr INTELLIeENoER repre-
sentative, "and il ID a positive relief to
see IL done and to talk about is openly.
This thing Of suppression has gone on
long enough and does no good. We have
q sore here that must be treated. To
conceal IL is dangerous, II not fatal. We
have lanoed IL and already feel relief.
